HTC Magic Review

[rainedFond]

Will ICS update coming to this phone?

[dchimits77]

How do I get to watch shows?

[iamthecornholio]

It's funny how all these comments are bashing this phone when, in fact, its CPU is about 1.25 times as fast as the original iPhone.

[firre139]

Should I get this one or the Samsung Galaxy s2. sooo hard to decide =(

[MATANUI720]

@firre139 are you fucking kidding me? s2

[firre139]

@MATANUI720 yes.. i was kidding

[sabertooth7777]

@firre139 you must be out of ur fucking mind...if u r comparing samsung s2 with this outdated shit

[firre139]

@sabertooth7777 of course. i'm kidding xD

[dimos47ki7]

have it for 2 years, rooted 2.2 and it works perfectly until now. having in mind it is an old model, it has a nice multitouch screen, works nice on 3G and calls and messaging are flawless

yes ofc it is slower than new phones, ofc it lags with new heavy games, but seriously, ppl whinning about this phone being terrible, should remember it is 3 year old model, and one of the first with android os

[uberzhoober]

Its always at the bottom of the quadrant standard list

[carloszamora0710]

Soo bad

[baolongn]

Yes it has android market

[CrazyKillz2]

Does it have Android Market?? Please answer ASAP.

[UncreativePerson123]

This makes the Htc Hero look like the Evo 3D

[xXeXpLoSiVeXx56]

yes, haptic feedback is remarkable

[jjoeshaw]

@xXeXpLoSiVeXx56 It kind of was at the time

[undertakerjnr]

this phone and vivaz pro which is better?

[OnClickListener]

wow this phone is a joke...my android emulator running in single thread lagged its way through the benchmark and still scored 1.5x what this phone's score is. that is truly sad i feel hard sympathy for anyone who owns this shit of a phone

[jjoeshaw]

@OnClickListener It'sover 2 years old you know?! One of the first to run android.

[seanboyize]

Quadrant said moto DROID is better

[ghocii]

this phone is great i have one and it doesnt brick even though i personalize a lot

[trrune]

Where is BORAT!?

[xDisposablexTeensx]

I have the my touch 3g the update KILLED my phone.The battery life is Terrible,but it was free so it's better than an ugly cheap free phone.

[1001kickflip]

I found it for £50! Unlocked and rooted!

[LyS7788]

I FOUND IT 77EURO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[roborobrobert]

BRING BACK BORAT!!! Dirty fingernails borat is the BEST!

[200lopes]

do you recomend me this phone?

[Maiwka16]

I have had this phone for a year and it sucks . i cant connect to 3G network and i have changed sim cards with other phones and 3G works on every phone but this one. Its very laggy, drops calls, battery lasts a day and a half sometimes doesnt send texts all the time. Keyboard is laggy when you type to fast. i do not reccomend this phone to anyone that just doesnt need it for buisness

[MegaChrisReedStudios]

he touched the screen and grease smeared on it at like 15 seconds in.

[superkid24]

@MegaChrisReedStudios That's what happens when you touch a touchscreen that was recently cleaned.

[ngyurov]

Hero is sooo much better.

[playvoice17]

d reviewer is still a reviewee ........ ill soundng and doesnt have a real know how on dis device...

[Cerz4]

one silly question..:Do htc magic and G1 have the marketplace app?

[marcju1ce]

wow, why dont you actually review the actual features of the phone - GPS capabilities etc. I can go to my local phone supplier to get the info you provided.

[armen0cide]

normally i like your reviews, this one was very poor ...

[davidcoady87]

i remember on the g1 you could have an app that allowed you to change the led light for different things say a message missed call can you could have different colour lights can you do it on the magic with the light on the scroller ball?

[TheTmac635]

where can i buy this from England..

as cheap as possible

[davidcoady87]

its on vodafone i think you could look around carphone wearhouse

[TheTmac635]

@davidcoady87

ehm.. i live in Faroe Island, and want to buy it online..

[YesRilo]

@TheTmac635

carphone warehouse on contract with vodaphone is relatively cheap.

[TheTmac635]

@YesRilo

i want it pay as you go..

im living in Faroe Islands and i want this phone as cheap as possible from england, danmark, norway or iceland..

[ghetemihai]

can you transfer photos and music through bluetooth?

[uve001]

Nope

[july371737]

htc maigc or sony ericsson xperia

[TheOpenSourceGuy]

Sony Ericsson xperia x10 is better. Just because of 1ghz qualcomn snap dragon processor and 256 mb of ram.

[TMBofficialschannel]

magic.. looks better, a bit faster..

[MrGuldtop]

the keyboard is MUCH easyer when you turn the fun around..then its hard to make fail

[MrChainsawJames]

how comes when the american man does the review the video is in hq and not hd when borat does it

[lalaikas]

What is that sense UI ?

[obar111]

no its not, it looks like android 1.6

[NunoMAA]

Htc magic, touch2 or Acer m900?

[IceCold720]

HTC or Xperia????

[IceCold720]

HTC of course

[Wook95]

great phone

[Andrewterrorist]

Did anyone else spot the AT&T lettering on the lock screen of this phone? Isn't this phone available only for T-Mobile right now??

[nutmega009]

no sprint

[CrazyVnJ]

i thought is was just for t mobil why does it have at&t thing can u get it for at&t

[attackxxxxxx]

not a big fan of android i think they should keep it in development longer

[TechWithLukasz]

the sense UI is fantastic!

[lalaikas]

What is that sense UI ?

[Divljina89]

@lalaikas Google it!

[masterkiller247]

How did you get the red thing on the side

[chijki]

I like the glossy look of it... but i still like my g1 better hehe

[LuKeNuKuM]

"so much more thin" is that an American thing?

[Krazykillasgammert]

yea it is, i dont understand it.. i hate thin phones i like thick manly ones.. lol im from NYC surrounded by thin phones

[JSM9393]

that keyboard is just like the iphones one.

without the feedback of course.

but it looks the same!

[markiboyataiea]

JSM9393 maybe if you watched it good you would have heard him saying it has feedback at 1:50

[JSM9393]

I mean the keyboard looks like the one on the iphone only this keyboard is better because THIS KEYBOARD (of the HTC) HAS FEEDBACK.

So u were wrong i ment the HTC

[kantjeuh]

i don't know what about you, but this phone looks so cheap to me with that black shiny plastic cover :s

why don't they make them like the first iphone, wit some sturdy aluminium or something like that..

[kylelab333221]

They quit using the aluminum that i personally liked because the aluminum blocked some signal so your service would be mediocre like everywhere

[Blubberkinesis]

Did anyone notice that this guy sounds like a new guy?

[Myr0n]

Hilarious how so many people talk about the reviewer instead of the reviewed product on these PhoneArena reviews heh.

And yes, I did notice.

And yes, the Borat dude > all

[PoetryRocksAlot]

Yeah he's better than the nervous american reviewer and the european guy who gets bashed for his accent.

[Blubberkinesis]

Yeah exactly. :)

[mcspikesky]

Pretty sure he is new. I like him, almost as much as the europeon guy

[mustafa33]

@Blubberkinesis yeah no more mr.haech

[gaastra12]

kinda stupid to get this, when the HTC Hero (The G3) is allready coming out almost

[brayden024]

wow thats a scam... it look so similar to apple's iphone keyboard!!!!!

[nospocnephets]

lol it does!

[PoetryRocksAlot]

lol I guess you don't know the definition of scam. LMAO how dumb is that huh?

[oxxxSE7ENxxxo]

i think that lg cookie has vibration feedback after you press a key (on an on-screen keyboard)? i think....

[cameronbailey]

most of the LG phones do now :D
